Slick and Morty
These tires are awesome. The low rolling resistance is noticeable compared to my old knobby tires. I'm able to ride around my city in confidence and can now keep up with people with better gearing. They look great too. Lots of people prefer to remove the lettering, but I think the bright white decals give off a great vintage vibe. The rubber feels tough as well. Looking forward to the next ride with these on. Highly recommend.

Better than I expected
These tires outperform the cheap mountain bike tires that came on my e-bike in every way. The original tires wore out in under 400 miles and were noisy. These are smooth, quiet and unbelievably “sticky.” Great traction even in rain. Highly recommend.

Awesome tire for use on trainer
I purchased this strictly for use on the trainer to eliminate noise and smooth out ride. It did both very well. No slipping on trainer wheel.Tire looks great too.

Fantastic urban tires!
After much research and reading as much as I can about these tires, I decided to give the ThickSlicks a try on my 27.5" MTB, and it was a total Win~!99% of my riding takes place on smooth bikeways, such as the 50-mile-long Santa Ana River Trail (SART), and the ThickSlicks are perfectly designed for such surfaces. The tires are heavier than my previous Continental X-King MTB tires that came with my wheelset, but once you get the ThickSlicks rolling, they glide effortlessly and quietly.I took the tires on some hardpack dirt trails and they performed fine. I did have to be more careful, though, when cornering and when going through deeper sand spots.The tires were easy to mount onto my 25mm inner width wheels and they didn't give me any trouble.I recently did a 41-mile ride from a city to the beaches then back, and the ThickSlicks increased my average speed and reduced leg fatigue compared to riding on the knobby MTB tires.I would definitely keep on buying the ThickSlicks. 5 Star Win~! 😍

Great for a slick city bike
These tires transformed my old mountain bike into a fun and efficient city bike. I pumped them up to 60 psi (65 is the max) and pedaling on pavement and over potholes has never been easier. The thick bulbous shape helps them perform fairly well on dirt and gravel trails as well. I would highly recommend these as an easy way to turn an old MTB into a city commuter. The logo is printed on the inside of the bulge, which leads me to believe that they should stay relatively unblemished for a long time. The look of these tires is DEFINITELY unique and noticeable, with the large branding. People notice and comment on these tires. It's up to you whether you think that's a good thing or a bad thing.Fit: These tires are certainly slick and very thick! Make sure the tubes you pair them with can go larger than 2". These tires are wider and taller and take up much more space than the old knobbly 1.95" MTB tires that I replaced with them. They have a wide range of inflation pressures available, which means you have a lot of control to tune your ride from soft to hard. They shipped in huge full big square boxes (*not* rolled up), and they popped onto my 26" rims pretty easily. Please look up how to change a bicycle tire before complaining about tires being difficult to install; these were very easy to install.

Sturdy well built .
Just got them on n rode 20 miles. All is good. Last pair lasted 6 years. These are a little bit wider 2.0 to the old 1.85. can't tell the difference. Easy to go on rim. Looks great. Very grippy.

If you have an indoor trainer, this is the tire to get UPDATE: took it outside!
I can only review it for indoor usage, so I can't say anything about puncture resistance or even durability. But for indoor use, this is the best tire I've used. I actually got a second wheel and cassette so I could use this tire indoors. I have a basement office that I share with my wife when we work from home and although it's a fairly large basement with several doors between her space and mine, the noise from indoor biking was disturbing her. Which was a problem because I like to hop on my indoor bike at least once a day when I have a bit of break so it couldn't always be afterhours. The worst was when I had my MTB on the trainer. It was converted to a hybrid some time ago with a much gentler looking tires but the noise was still tremendous. Even my road bike with Conti GP 5000TL was noisier than she'd like. But this tire has almost eliminated all wheel/tire noise. The whine from the motor (mag resistance trainer) still remains but it's pretty well muffled by the doors and nowhere near as annoying as it used to be. For me, I can actually hear what the trainers are saying on iFit and hear the sound from Zwift, plus the TV I have playing.Add to that its very reasonable price and it's a winner. As for swapping out the wheels, get something like KMC Missing Link and it's pretty easy. My bike chain actually came with a SRAM link but I didn't know so I have two links on the chain... Oops... So look for that if you go that route.UPDATE: so I bought another one and equipped my Cannondale F29 Caffeine MTB front and back. And I'm really happy. I wasn't sure about the traction of a slick but they grip really well, although the roadway was dry. And the low rolling resistance made pedaling much easier and the bike faster than I remembered. I'm going to upgrade to a lighter wheelset and use the MTB (now a hybrid, I guess) as my touring bike instead of my road bike. I'm really happy with this purchase.

Clean looking tire
I ordered a set of these for my specialized road bike. They're decent. They are thicker in the center than most tires and I would assume that with a good wheel and tire liner these will hold up a long time. Good for commuting, maybe not so much for racing.

¡LA MEJOR COMPRA PARA RODILLO!
Soy ciclista mtb y recientemente me compré un rodillo cycleops fluid 2 pa entrenar en casa. Obviamente montar la llanta de tacos no era opción ya que el ruido es insoportable y se gasta la llanta muy repentinamente. Así que investigando encontré que podía ponerse una llanta de ruta en el aro 29” y funcionó a medias ya que no calzaba correctamente y tenía un brinco incómodo en el rodillo. Así que buscando llantas aquí en Amazon me encontré con esta y oh por Dios!! Una experiencia totalmente satisfactoria. No sabía que existían llantas listas para mtb y pues calza correctamente solucionando el problema del brinco, además que en rodillo sentí algo más familiar el usar esta llanta, así como si anduviera en la calle.Solo espero sea duradera y aguante cientos de kms. La recomiendo totalmente si tienes rodillo y piensas montarle una bike mtb pa entrenar.

Great tires, got them while they were still cheap.
Fantastic tires for $30. They will turn black on the bottom but the white sidewalls look great.

Bisher alles top
die Pneus kamen schnell, je nach Talent einfach zu montieren, mit mittlerem Druck die ersten 30km gefahren und dann mit fast 100% Druck 1 x 60km und 1 x 85km. Fahren sich sehr gut, rollen leise und bei Fahrbahndellen sehr komfortabel. Ich fahre ein 29" MTB, ca. die gleiche Pace wie mit dem Rennrad.

Un pneu cassé
J'ai acheté deux pneus et un était cassé, j'ai demandé un changement ou un remboursement mais les délais techniques étaient expirés... J'aurais dû le monter tout de suite pour m'en rendre compte tout de suite, mais il n'en demeure pas moins qu'il était cassé.

La référence!
Meilleur rapport qualité/prix en terme de solidité/endurance et rendement.Je recommande pour les skids et usage en conditions extrêmes (débris de verres, limaille...).
